The old man saw Han Shengwei lowering his head and thinking. He thought that Han Shengwei was scared by the fact that Han Shengwei had called out the late emperor's name. That was a crime of treason and heresy, and he would be beheaded. He comforted Han Shengwei,"Don't be afraid, child. Be careful with your words and actions. Don't take any more risks.”。
Han Shengwei was interrupted by the old man. He understood what the old man meant. He wanted to know which era the old man was from, or whether the old man was a human, a ghost, or an immortal. However, he couldn't ask directly, so he just smiled awkwardly.
Seeing Han Shengwei's forced smile and awkward expression, the old man thought that his comforting words had worked. To avoid awkwardness again, he changed the topic and asked,"How is the current Emperor? How is the Heavenly Queen?"
At this point, Han Shengwei understood that the current Emperor was definitely referring to Tang Gaozong, Li Zhi, and the Empress was naturally Wu Zetian. To be able to use the term 'the current Emperor' meant that the old man must have been from that era.
Someone from the Tang Gaozong era? Oh my god, a person from 1,300 years ago? It was either a ghost or a god. It was definitely not a human!
He had never dealt with ghosts or gods before, so it was hard to control his words. The white-bearded old man was an old aardwolf and a monster, but he was Xiaoke's ancestor. At least he was related to them. These two were different. What if he didn't pay attention and provoked them…
Seeing that Han Shengwei didn't say anything, the young man reminded him," Brother Han Ren, my master is asking questions."
After the young man reminded him, Han Shengwei nodded awkwardly and said to the old man,"" Mm…how should I put it? He…he passed away."
"Oh…It's rare for people to be over seventy. When I came here, His Majesty was already unwell…Hmm?……”，The old man was sighing when he frowned and asked,"The Heavenly Queen's phoenix body is healthy, why…"
"Is that true?" The old man was shocked and sat up straight. Then, he understood and muttered,"Fellow Daoist Linqiong, you are indeed good at physiognomy…Empress? Hehe, this is really unheard of…Hmm?……There seems to be a mistake…"
The old man seemed to have thought of something and asked,"Child, you said that eight years after the Emperor passed away, the Empress became the Emperor and then sixteen years later, she passed away. I have only been here for twenty-two years. When I came, the Emperor was still around.”
Han Shengwei was even more confused, especially when the old man said that he had only been here for twenty-two years. Why would he call Li Shimin the late emperor? Speaking of the Heavenly Queen, it seemed that only Wu Zetian had been a Heavenly Queen before. By right, everything was right. Where did this go wrong?
Han Shengwei couldn't figure it out, so he asked tentatively,""Old man, I'm talking about Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian. I wonder if you're asking about these two people? Li Zhi's father is Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin. Li Shimin's father is the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan. I wonder if we're talking about the same thing?”。
The old man was stunned. Maybe Han Shengwei called those people by their names, which was a big deal in ancient times. The old man nodded." That's true. It's just that there's a huge difference in time, so I'm puzzled." Doll, where did you hear this?”。
"The history books recorded all of this from more than 1,300 years ago.”。
"When did this happen?" The old man stood up excitedly. His long beard that reached his chest trembled slightly. It was obvious that his body was trembling.
The young man hurried to support the old man and looked at Han Shengwei in disbelief.
Han Shengwei saw their reactions, but he had his own thoughts. He continued,""Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty abdicated, and Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty. Yang Guang succeeded Yang Jian, and Yuwen Huaji killed Yang Guang. Sui Gong Emperor Yang You abdicated, Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty; Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate rebellion and succeeded Li Yuan. When he was in power, Wu Zetian was a talented person. Li Zhi succeeded Li Shimin. When he was in power, Wu Zetian first became Zhaoyi, then the Empress, then the Empress, and then established Wu Zhou…"
"Child, what you said is true. I don't doubt it. 1,300 years ago, I was in the Western Zhou Dynasty.”，The old man interrupted Han Shengwei, sighed, and sat down slowly. He murmured,"" I didn't expect the Great Tang to be like the Sui Dynasty. It was so short. How lamentable…"
"Old man, it's not like that. Before Wu Zetian died, he was still in charge of the Tang Dynasty. Tang Zhongzong, Li Xian, succeeded him, and the Tang Dynasty lasted for more than 200 years.”。
Han Shengwei continued," After the Tang Dynasty, it was more chaotic. It was the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, followed by the Song, Liao, Xixia, Jin, Yuan, Ming, Qing, and then the Republic of China. Now, it is the People's Republic.”。
Han Shengwei didn't say anything else. He thought that he had said enough. As for what the old man thought, he didn't know.
He was even more confused now. He didn't know what kind of connection existed between the old man's words of 'coming here for more than 22 years', and the' Emperor Li Zhi 'from more than 1,300 years ago.
It could be said that up until now, he still could not determine whether the two creatures in front of him were humans, ghosts, or immortals.
